BIO: Per 1998 issue of "The World Of Hibernia," Sr. Mary Rose McGeady, then 69, was President of Covenant House, Manhattan, New York, with affilitiations to the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. With a third-generation connection to Co. Donegal, her family names were McGeady, Ennis, Mundis and Gallagher, her family having emigrated circa 1842. Established in 1968 as a refuge for troubled and displaced youngsters, Covenant House has had more than 250,000 children pass through its doors. Overseeing the needs of her inner-city charges has been Sister Mary Rose McGeady. A 40-year veteran of community service, Sister Mary Rose joined the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul when she was 18. Taking an interest in the emotional needs of others, she trained as a clinical psychologist, later moving on to work at the Nazareth Child Care Center in Boston. She eventually came to head a variety of Boston and New York-area child-care centers as administrator, before joining Brooklyn Catholic Charities in 1971. Having an open heart but a no-nonsense attitude, Sister Mary Rose was the natural choice to direct activities at Covenant House, a role she assumed in 1990. Respected by the thousands of young souls whose lives she had touched over the years, Sister Mary Rose takes her job in stride, reaching a segment of soc! iety that many have chosen to overlook. Her photo can be found in the Summer 1998 issue of "The World Of Hibernia."
